I just downloaded Plucker (1.1.9), and I'm having two problems getting
started with it.  My system is running RedHat 7.0, and I've installed
the latest netpbm.

First of all, I don't seem to have ppmtoTbmp.  The web page says that
this has been rolled into netpbm, but it isn't there, either.  Where
do I get this?

Second, I'm trying to make a Plucker doc (p-book?) of ESR's Jargon
File.  I've tried putting the top level page in my home.html:

<P><a href="http://tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/"; MAXDEPTH=4 STAYBELOW>
The Jargon File</a><p>

and also I've tried spidering it on the command line:

plucker-build -f jargon -H "http://tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/"; \
        --bpp 4 --maxdepth 4 --zlib-compression

Both of these get the top page, and nothing else.  Running the above
gives errors like:

Processing ://tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/Format-for-New-Entries.html.
           2 collected, 6 still to do
  Retrieved failed: 404 -- [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'://tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/Format-for-New-Entries.html'

What am I doing wrong?  

I really like Plucker as opposed to iSilo (which doesn't to hyperlinks
in the no-cost version) and AvantGo (which is butt slow and a resource
hog), but what the main web page and documentation is missing is
actual instructions on how to snapshot various webs (local and
remote)...
